- Areas of Usage
Used as a topcoat or may be pigmented for use as a color coat in basements, warehouses, food and beverage facilities, manufacturing facilities, power plants, shop floors, clean rooms, automotive services areas, laboratories, aircraft hangars, garages,. May be used as a clear top coat or color coat anywhere extreme chemical resistance is required.
- Surface Preparation
Allow new concrete to cure for at least 30 days prior to preparation and coating. Test for moisture and remove dust, laitance, grease, curing compounds, preparation bond-inhibiting impregnations, waxes and other contaminants. Prepare concrete via mechanical abrasion (e.g., diamond grinding) and follow with application of appropriate primer and/or color coat.
- Mixing Ratio
Two (2) parts Part A to one (1) part Part B (i.e., 2:1 ratio); the mixture should not be reduced with solvent
- Application
Snowplow with a 14” or 18” (3/8” shed-resistant) roller or 3/16” notched rubber squeegee for horizontals and polester brush for peripheries. Immediately back-roll material with roller. Do not back-roll after mixture begins to tack up.
- Application Procedure
SL Epoxy may be used in a variety of coating systems and is typically used as a color or top coat.
- Mixing
SL Epoxy is a two component system: Part A and Part B (the activator). When ready to use, mix Part A and Part B in a ratio of 2:1 as follows: add two (2) parts Part A and one (1) part Part B in a bucket and mix immediately. Always mix at a slow mixing speed to avoid introducing air into the mixture. Do not reduce with solvent. If polypropylene anti-skid is to be incorporated in the mixture, add the required quantity and re-mix (do not exceed 4 ounces polypropylene anti-skid per 1 - 1 ½ gallons of the mixture.

Average Dry Time at 77˚F (25˚C): Dry times vary depending upon weather conditions. To Touch at 72˚F (22˚C): 8-12 hours; Re-coat at 72˚F (22˚C) (Min/Max): 18 – 72 hours; Light Foot Traffic at 72˚F (22˚C): 24 hours; Vehicle Traffic at 72˚F (22˚C): 72 hours; Full Cure at 72˚F (22˚C): 7 days
Resistance To: Moisture, stains, chemicals and abrasion (e.g., water, mold, mildew, salt, grease, oil spills, brake fluid, gasoline, hydraulic fluid, xylene, MEK, bases (sodium hydroxide), and acids (hydrochloric, sulphuric, acetic and nitric acids)
Reducing: Do not reduce.
Finish: High gloss
Curing Mechanism: Chemical reaction between components
Thickness: Recommended for application between 10 - 30 mils dry film thickness per coat. Heavy applications exceeding this thickness may result in slow dry.
